Mexico starts exporting pork to Singapore
Mexico have started to export pork to Singapore in end-october with first cargo shipment of 22 tonnes from Ensenada, Baja California.
Mexico's agriculture department confirmed in a recent statement that Singapore has joined Asian countries such as South Korea, China and Japan in importing pork from Mexico as "health authorities have already recognised the health status and the levels of harmlessness they achieve with Mexican products."
Several advances this year pertaining to the Asian countries were made by the Mexican pork industry. Jalisco was incorporated to the group of Mexican states authorised to sell their products to Japan after being deemed free of classic swine fever. Permission was also granted by Chinese authorities to four Mexican meat processing plants to export pork.
